  —American Journal of Psychotherapy

• Endorsement From Monica McGoldrick
  Director, Family Institute of New Jersey: [Papajohn's] book should become a classic on the subject of cultural perspectives on psychotherapy. Clearly written, thoughtful, with fascinating case studies, Papajohn's book is the culmination of an entire career dedicated to understanding the role culture plays in our lives....This book should be required reading for all psychotherapists, since we are all working with immigrants and their descendants, no matter how far removed from the migration experience.
• Endorsement From Nicholas Gage
  author of Eleni: Anyone who has grown up in an ethnic community or has been drawn into an ethnic culture through intermarriage will find the Hyphenated American an absorbing journey of self discovery....Whatever your national origin may be, you'll find The Hyphenated American speaks your language.
• Endorsement From Philip G. Levendusky
  Associate Professor
  Harvard Medical School: Papajohn's work is extremely interesting and, I think, will make a real contribution to a better understanding of social diversity in today's society. In particular, I think the book is particularly unique because it takes a broad-spectrum perspective to the understanding of diversity without being yoked to today's politically-correct cultural biases.
